Lakewood: Another Wedding just Shut Down??

A Wedding was just dispersed by Lakewood Police Department on Van Buren and Buchanan Rd. This is one of many times over the last few days that First Responders have had to respond to Weddings and Large Gatherings in Lakewood to disperse the crowds that violate Government Murphy’s mandate.

We implore everyone to follow directives made to ensure the safety and Health of all.

I implore everyone to write to Governor Murphy and demand he deploy the National Guard to patrol the streets of Lakewood to prevent these pop’up events. Take action and do more than posting here. Save you life and the lives of the people in the surrounding communities and the entire state.

They aren’t afraid of anyone. Not even the police. Not even the governor. They are handled like sensitive snow flakes. Because they discrimination!!! Maybe we need to sue them and yell discrimination!!!

Omg!!!! Wtf wtf wtf wtf????? How do we get this to stop? And seriously the balls of them during the Governors briefing?? They just don’t give a sh*t. Stop giving them fines and arrest them. We all know they will find a way to get out of paying the fines!

Michele Attisano Brown omg shout the front door. This is out of hand. Since most listen to their Rabbis when will they actually step in and ask them to stop? Giving a statement of they shouldn’t isn’t helping. They need to enforce and reinforce the law and how important is is that they social distance themselves n put a hold on traditional religious practices that would have them gather.

it’s pretty obvious these people are not going to listen and when people speak up about this you want to arrest them as as opposed to taking care of the problemmaybe you should concentrate on the problem and not the people that want the problem solved cuz obviously nobody gives a rat’s ass

Donna Liuzzi Tuminaro that’s sad, he doesn’t deserve to be governor, all of us should be protected. His behavior is despicable. So many lives are being affected. Especially those who fall under essential services. So unfair to not care.

Dawn Bennett Without the Hasidic block vote, Murphy has no chance of reelection. Murphy is more concerned about his political ambition than the health and welfare of ALL the people in NJ. His, and his AG’s, lack of action speaks volumes! He is, indeed, despicable and not worthy of the position of governor. It is so shameful!

When the hell will they start throwing them in jail. Maybe that they will be able to understand. They keep putting all of our officers at risk every time they do this. That should be assault on a police officer

If the Hasidic community doesn’t care about leaving or should I say “forgetting” their kids in their cars in 90° weather to die, I HIGHLY doubt they care about Covid-19 and the protection & safety of their surrounding neighbors. someone had to say it.

you can beg the haredi all you want. they are not going to stop. the self entitlement and arrogance are unmatched. but the governor better do something before people get much angrier, or i am really afraid we will see blood in the streets. the people have absolutely had it. read some of the posts on the governor’s page…..the haredi need to be forcibly contained.

Tricia Januska sadly you are correct. How sad is this and they get away with it while those obeying the law are put at risk and their families are put at risk bc these people run wild spreading their virus everywhere .

Shawn Albers Bro I just don’t get it. I cannot take our Governor’s word anymore when this happens. It’s unfair to those following the rules. He needs to lay down the hammer. Unfortunately, that will never happen.

Mandatory jail time for hosts and attendees of any gatherings in violation of Ex Order 107 in addition to plastering mugshots to publicly shame offenders. The tickets and fines are BS, that’s not a deterrent whatsoever. Punishments need to have some teeth.

Rob I agree. Enough is enough already. I can understand why people weren’t taking this seriously at first, but when I saw there was another wedding last night and another one today, I couldn’t believe it. They have almost half of the cases in the entire country and by not taking this seriously they’re guaranteed to spread it to innocent people.

Erik Stemmle And that’s after 35 people being broken up in Lakewood this morning. I could care less about anyone’s religion or desires. This is about the well-being and safety of the entire county, regardless of faith or background. What I do care about is selfishness that does not help slow the rate of infection. And that applies to everyone across the board, regardless of ethnicity/faith/race, etc etc. Look, we have 200,000 seniors in Ocean County who are in the high-risk category. We need to stop looking the other way on bad behavior of anyone of the 600,000 of us in Ocean County.

Rob I agree. I don’t trade in anti-semitism either, but this isn’t about anyone’s beliefs, it’s about their actions. If they’re disregarding the safety guidelines for whatever reason, that can affect the safety of others and it should be shut down as best as possible.

I saw a video where a rabbi was telling saying the corona virus isn’t for them “it’s for the non jews” (their words)…. Sooo according to them they are safe if they smile and pray…. I don’t know where they come up with this stuff…. So if we all change our religion we will be “safe” 😆

Theses parties are putting our first responders in danger of getting the virus. Come on Governor, do something..there are already 700 NJ officers with the virus. This is not fair to them or their families.

I feel like Murphy isn’t/won’t say anything about this because as soon as he does, he’ll be called racist/antisemetic against the Jewish community. It won’t be taken as him attempting to look out for EVERYONE and trying to get people to listen and follow the order like it should be. However, in him doing and saying nothing he looks like a fool.

All while Murphy is giving his briefing?! Get the National Guard in there! This is horrific! Murphy they don’t respect you can’t you see that! The residents of Ocean County are going to suffer because you are being too lax! DO SOMETHING NOW!

Every person at those events should be fined! Not just the owners. Wtf is wrong with these people throwing these events. They are so disrespectful. Sorry excuse for a human!
Lock them all up!
But we all know they will all get away with it when court time comes. Smfh such a disgrace

Look Govenor Murphy, I understand that your friends with the chief Rabbi, but that community is giving you the bird. So how much is the kickback you obviously get some they can continue to put us all in Danger.?

Im as frustrated as any one of the commenters here about non-compliance. But im pretty sure that the negativity and anti semitism will not cure corona or fix the problem just like hating on the Chinese will not. Everyone needs to follow the quarantine requirements-no one is above the law. There are ppl everywhere-not just in lkwd and not just Orthodox jews who r not complying. This happens to have been a family only photo shoot for a bride and groom. NOT a wedding. Outside. Whether or not this was against the requirements (think family in the park) the attitude here is frightening. Its easy to pin things on a specific group of ppl and vent ur anger but it accomplishes nothing. Hate spreads faster than covid-19

Must be nice to own the Governor of NJ!
Any Phil Murphy sightings, I’m sure he’s on the guest list!
He should be ashamed of himself for letting them get away with this.
Anyone think they care if they have to pay a fine! Obviously this isn’t working!

National Guard should be mobilized and a mandatory shelter in place should happen. Continued disregard of the Governor’s orders are risking the lives of first responders, doctors and nurses on the front lines, and fellow New Jersians! This blatant disregard for public safety needs to be combated more aggressively then a fine!
